Moi-era allocations haunt former land bosses in suits to recover public property
Friday December 25 2020
Summary
Most of the houses were meant for civil servants or public use, but they were allocated to Moi-era power brokers in the 1990s.
In the said cases, the names of two former Commissioners of Land Wilson Gachanja and Sammy Mwaita, who succeeded him, have featured prominently.
The two former officials have been cited in scores of cases filed by Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), as the watchdog sought the repossession of the public land or houses.
When filing their counterarguments in the cases, they defended their actions saying the law allowed them to allocate land on behalf of the President.
